Muzz Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Finally looks like a set of stencils for a Buccaneer in the two tone grey scheme............ https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/KW48140 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary West Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 What timing on the back of recent Airfix related Buccaneer news....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy341 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Bought a set of these to help complete a S2B in medium sea grey of 12 Squadron. The artwork is really goods and surpasses what was already out there. I photographed the Gulf War Buccaneers with nose art on the flightline at RAF Lossiemouth in 1991, and these decals compare well to the photos.

I've bought a set too Andy as I have the kit in the stash and have been waiting to build it in grey scheme but holding off due to the lack off decals. Well pleased with them, wonder if they'll release anymore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truro Model Builder Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 It does make one wonder if something is afoot on the 1/48 Buccaneer scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntPhillips Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 What recent Bucc related news ???? This news was posted today in the Kitstarter forum by the administrator: " 1/48 Buccaneer: Inherent quality problem with the fuselage mouldings." "I have heard back from our Development team and, unfortunately, it will not be possible to add this tooling to KitStarter. This is because there is an inherent quality problem with the fuselage mouldings." Sounds rather official too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dambuster Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Hmm, there is a whole world of difference between 'The molds are damaged beyond repair' and ''we won't be adding it to kitstarter because of a quality problem".... Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy341 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Hi Muzz, I'm just coming to the end of my build. I too have done mine in the final colour scheme of medium sea grey. I have just bought the Eduard interior etched stuff (48-132) primarily for the canpoy seals and rails. However, have a read at my thread on missing instructions. This is a great kit which requires a great deal of attention, but it is worth it. Regards Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truro Model Builder Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Perhaps the real problem with the Airfix 1/48 Buccaneer was that it drove most builders to the point of looney-tunes in their effort to get something decent out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you followed the simple steps I described (I found these steps here, BTW), you got something quite decent with a rather small effort, so...
